<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3449178, member: 74968&quot;]I just won this in the Noble Numismatics auction. I loved the portrait on this one. This coin was part of the second issue of 86 CE. So that means this coin was produced before mid-September of 86 CE. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what RIC says about the Issues of 86 CE. &quot;The coins of these issues are all relatively rare and output overall appears to be low in comparison with the largest early issues of the reign and, even more so, compared with later years&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I was also struck by the toning of this coin. I will be happy to add this handsome denarius to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]916086[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>DOMITIAN,</b>(A.D. 81-96), silver denarius, Rome mint, issued A.D. 86, (second Issue)</p><p>(3.47 g), </p><p>Obv. laureate head of Domitian to right, around IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P V, Rev. around IMP XII COS XII CENS P P P, Minerva standing to right, fighting, holding javelin and shield, </p><p>(RIC 435, RSC 201b).</p><p><i>Attractive blue and gold patina, extremely fine.</i></p><p>Ex Dr V.J.A.
